3 c sugar
¾ c corn syrup
½ c water

Place sugar, syrup, and water in heavy saucepan, cook over medium heat to 248 degrees. Remove from heat and let stand until temperature drops to 220 without stirring.

Beat egg whites to soft peaks with wire whip at speed 8, about a minute; gradually add syrup in a fine stream while still beating, another 2 minutes. Reduce to speed 4 and add extract. Continue whipping 20-25 minutes or until mixture starts to dry out. Drop from spoon on to waxed paper or greased pan to form patties.
